Escape By Carolyn Jessop

Review

“Escape provides an astonishing look behind the tightly drawn curtains of the FLDS Church, one of the most secretive religious groups in the United States. The story Carolyn Jessop tells is so weird and shocking that one hesitates to believe a sect like this, with 10,000 polygamous followers, could really exist in 21st-century America. But Jessop’s courageous, heart-wrenching account is absolutely factual. This riveting book reminds us that truth can indeed be much, much stranger than fiction.”
—Jon Krakauer, Author of Under the Banner of Heaven, Into Thin Air, and Into the Wild  

-----------------------------------------

This book is very timely, what with the recent goings on at the FLDS compound in Texas.

I just started it, but am already fascinated and appalled at the same time.

Has anyone else read it?
